John Deere GreenSystem PE8005 Potato Digger 50 inch Price November 2026
This record covers the PE8005 50-inch version for straight-planted potatoes, not the 57-inch zig-zag configuration. John Deere India lists two rows, one notched blade, Category II linkage and 820 kg weight for the selected version. The wider version is listed at 890 kg. Keep that distinction on the purchase order so a family name does not conceal a different machine.
Match the digger to the planted bed
Before choosing a digger, record the actual planting pattern, ridge arrangement and tuber position with the grower. Ask for a representative trial and examine recovery, visible cuts and soil separation after the machine is stopped. A clean-looking row alone does not show what remains underground. Compare the full harvesting sequence, including collection and handling after digging; this page does not claim a complete bagged harvest.
Confirm the operating combination
The source labels power and lift entries without units, so no numeric tractor requirement is inferred here. Obtain the current approved tractor, linkage, drive and lift requirements in writing. Have the dealer explain the belt-tension adjustment, mud-separating cams and frame cushioning shown on the page. Follow the manual for adjustments and clearing; never inspect beneath unsupported raised equipment.
No reliable current price for this exact version was established on 1 November 2026. The Pune supplier listing requests a quote and describes the heavier zig-zag configuration. Request the straight-planting version explicitly, with taxes, delivery and supplied equipment itemised. No ex-showroom or on-road amount is borrowed from the other version.
